The Mooncake Melodies

My musical instincts have led me to write and record a special musical album for this occasion called The Mooncake Melodies.

It is a collection of 10 instrumental tracks that are uniquely Chinese and Oriental in nature. 
It also features a cover of Andy C and the New Horizon's "Oriental Dance" and I hope he will like my version of his amazing tune.

Andy was actually featured with  me during my interview on Channel 8 news and has written some fantastic music combining modern and classical Chinese music undertones.

In addition, there is also a cover of Goh Su Yong's Autumn Harvest, which features him playing er-hu. It was an amazing track, and he is really one of the best er-hu instrumentalists out there.

I also took one of his other compositions, and added my part and turned it into a collaborative composing effort, Autumn Glory, which opens the album.

Mr. Goh is a supreme composer, and writes some of the most moving Chinese music I know. I really thank him for allowing me the privilege to work with him and letting me arrange and produce his music.

There will be more collaborations with Mr. Goh in the future, and I will slowly bring our efforts so far to fruition in the coming months.

In the meantime, I include a live streaming of the entire album for your listening pleasuring as we celebrate this year's Lantern Festival.
